Chapter 212 - An Awkward Seat
Her gowns never exposed her back or cleavage in this life. Her shoulder was the most skin she showed. This was her first time exposing her legs.
Anyone wearing hot pants would expose that level of skin. Song Mian was too egotistical. She finally caught him in the act.
You arent afraid of making enemies, arent you? Fang Nanyuan shook his head.
Everyones dolled up. Everyone wants to be the prettiest. What? They cant see anyone prettier than them? Yun Xiangxiang sneered. Cant help it if they hate me for this. My mom gave me my looks after all.
In her past life as Hua Xiangrong, she was no stunner. She didnt get much attention at any red carpet proceeding. But she never complained about anyone looking better than she did. If anyone hated people for being more competent than they were, they were sick and needed therapy!
Thats probably what they meant by dilemmas of the gorgeous. Im just a normal guy. Cant imagine how it must be like, Fang Nanyuan sighed softly.
Oh, dont pull my leg. Youre no normal guy. I heard that you are the top of the new gens four great bishounen on an online post, Yun Xiangxiang exposed him mercilessly.
Hes the top of the four great bishounen? Xue Yu was annoyed when he heard it. Pointing at himself, he asked, What about me then?
Xue Yu had always been confident about his looks. He would admit that Fang Nanyuan was outstanding. Even so, rankings about looks never were about looks. The stars status and popularity would be considered. The fans would riot otherwise.
Ahem, Yun Xiangxiang coughed. Senior, you missed something there. I said new gen.
Afterwards, Yun Xiangxiang pointed at Fang Nanyuan before pointing at Xue Yu, Theres a generation gap between you two.
Xue Yu was speechless.
Fang Nanyuan tried his hardest not to laugh in disrespect. Especially when Xue Yu was his idol and senior.
You guys look lively. Whats up? Xue Yus embarrassment was blown away when this voice spoke.
But Xue Yu didnt want his embarrassment to be blown by this voice. It belonged to his nemesis, Lu Jin!
Its an inside joke. We shouldnt share it with Emperor Lu, Xue Yu remarked sharply.
Im close with Xiangxiang too. Lu Jin didnt hold back. Also, I seem to collaborate more with Xiangxiang.
We are senior and junior of the same agent! Xue Yu was defiant.
Relationships dont grow deeper with a bond in name. You have to spend more time with each other.
Hmph. Thats what you think.
And youre just having wishful thinking.
Um, you two, noticing the tension rising between both of them, Yun Xiangxiang quickly pointed somewhere within the spectators. There are reporters in the venue too, you know.
When they looked up, they noticed reporters pointing their camera at them. They were top tier stars after all. Not to mention they were standing together.
There was also the popular idol, Fang Nanyuan, as well as the beauty, Yun Xiangxiang there. Four of them in the same place was too eye-catching.
Teacher Lu, thats a nice suit, Xue Yu smiled and praised insincerely.
Teacher Xue, you look energetic today, Lu Jin replied formally.
The photoshoot from afar showed nothing but harmony and happiness between both of them. They were bona fide top international actors after all.
I am embarrassed for you two if you arent, Yun Xiangxiang found the duo insufferable.
Fang Nanyuan also thought the air was filled with awkwardness. Fang Nanyuan might dread the pregnant pause, but he wished both of them would shut up right now. But he couldnt say that. Yun Xiangxiang could though.
Lets go back to our seats, junior, Xue Yu took Yun Xiangxiangs hand and went to their seats smugly.
He wanted to give Lu Jin a provocative look after sitting down, but the organizers had other ideas. He sat at Yun Xiangxiangs left, while Lu Jin sat on her right. Fang Nanyuan sat right behind her.
The most awkward thing here was Song Mian was sitting right in front of her, with one row separating them.
Yun Xiangxiang sat at the best spot for photo shoots. The front two rows were occupied by the leaders. They wouldnt show up in the photos.
Xingzhous case is concluding soon. According to Director Wu, The Kings Plan will probably air in the golden week of Labors Day, Lu Jin tilted his head and whispered to Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiangs eyes lit up. If the film aired during the golden week of Labors Day, that meant He Xingzhou was innocent. The editing and reshoot couldnt be done in such a short time.
When she recalled how Song Mian also said the case would conclude soon, she guessed Director Wu was probably airing The Kings Plan following the trend after He Xingzhous acquittal.
That is good news, Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips and smiled.
Junior, how long are you going to film in Paris? Flying Skys audition is in August, Xue Yu suddenly spoke up too.
Yun Xiangxiang tilted to Xue Yu, Are you sure that Flying Skys audition is in August?
He Wei didnt tell her. She thought it was still undecided.
I used to work with the director. I didnt know about it until I talked to him a few days ago, Xue Yu explained. He didnt give the company the confirmation yet. Its natural the company doesnt know about it.
You can do that? Yun Xiangxiangs eyes shone brighter. If she knew the exact time, she could try and talk Milles into giving her a few days off for the audition. Milles shouldnt mind, she thought.
She had to wait for the notice after the audition, after which they had to prepare. At any rate, ten months would pass before she needed to join the crew. She could finish filming First Love.
Thank you, senior, Yun Xiangxiang felt a lot of weight falling off her mind.
It was at this moment that Lu Jin spoke to her again. She tilted his way just for Xue Yu to interrupt after a moment of talking.
As he sat behind them, Fang Nanyuan was tired just looking at Yun Xiangxiang. To save her, he talked to her too.
The film festival started when they were chatting. There were many awards for a university students film festival.
Xue Yu came here as an award presenter. Lu Jin came here as a contestant.
They didnt need to do anything in the early stages. It wasnt until the first climax: most popular actor or actress among university students did they have to do something.
Lu Jin was nominated as the most popular actor, to which he won. He stood up and walked to the stage, relaxed and always waving.
Rumors said that Emperor Lu and God Xue disliked one another. Now that youre sitting together, what do you think about this, Emperor Lu? Lu Jin might have taken the award, but the host was not letting him go easily.
Rumors are just that. To me, Teacher Xue is an outstanding actor. I can learn something from him. Lu Jins answer was as formal as his smile. Nobody could nitpick it.
What a hypocrite, Xue Yu might be saying that, but he smiled broadly. He was not giving anyone any chance to make a story out of this.
Your look is showing that perfectly, senior.
